Racing Rewards Easter Showcase indicative fields
The indicative fields are out for this Friday's Racing Rewards Easter Showcase at Addington.
There are three races for the pacers and two for the trotters, each worth $30,000.
The top 42 ranked pacers and top 32 ranked trotters nominated have been split into fields, based on ratings. The pacers will contest three races with 14 acceptors each, while in the trotting races there will be two races, with 16 acceptors each.

Now in its third year, the very popular Showcase is all about rewarding intermediate grade trotters and pacers.
To be eligible horses had to be aged four-year-old and older, and rated 57 or below, as of January 1 2024.
Each start a horse had within the qualification period (January 1 - April 1 2024) is multiplied by the number of wins, the number of seconds, the number of thirds and the number of fourths. The four figures are then aggregated to give a "Racing Rewards Score", which will then place the horse within the racing Rewards rankings.
To be eligible a horse must have had a minimum of three starts within the qualification period.
